"He's stupid. Thinks with his feet.... But I trust those feet!"
"I'll say this much for him: he has the courage of his ignorance."
--A Face in the Crowd
The New Yorker critic Pauline Kael on the A Face in the Crowd cast: "They should all take a cold shower."
Dreamed of the summer of 1979.
They're now tearing up the south side of St. Clair Avenue near our house.
Spent a long time sorting the comic strips I've been recently buying online.
Dinner was spaghetti (which I cooked).
Saw the DVD of the Elia Kazan-Budd Schulberg satire A Face in the Crowd. (When I went online afterward, it turned out that Schulberg had just died!) Quintessential 1950s cynicism, melodramatic but often sharp.
